★★★★ review by maria concetta on Letterboxd
This movie could've been Elio Germano staring out the window for two and a half hours and I still would've loved every second of it.

★★★★ review by Amelie84 on Letterboxd
Mi è piaciuta di più la prima parte inerente all'età della giovinezza di Leopardi: ho trovato un po' noiosa la seconda sull'età adulta.
Meravigliose le poesie recitate.
Meraviglioso Elio Germano: lo è sempre più con l'incedere del film. -

★★★★½ review by Cine_Magique on Letterboxd
What an incredibly intense film. If I weren't Italian, I would learn the language to watch it in its original version. The complex figure and production of Giacomo Leopardi, one of our greatest poets, are portrayed on screen with respect and accuracy. Elio Germano offers a flawless performance.
